San Francisco Fabric Shops
Britex Fabrics
Written by Allison Engel
Photographs by Michael Garland
Begin your San Francisco fabric-shopping trek downtown at the 56-year crown jewel of California fabric purveyors, Britex Fabrics. For fabric lovers, there is no experience like the first visit here. The first floor display of floor-toceiling bolts of luxury wools runs the full length of the store, all 120 feet from Geary Street to Maiden Lane. Though many fabrics are high-end, including couturier silks, Britex caters to sewers of all incomes with its four floors of merchandise.
More Britex Fabrics
The third floor, notions, is just as jaw-dropping as the first. Here, there are 36,000 styles and sizes of buttons, including vintage varieties, and over-the-top selections of appliqués and purse handles.
More Britex Fabrics
And then there are the ribbons: wire, double-faced satin, silk, sheer, printed, antique, each in multiple colors and widths. Helping make sense of the staggering inventory are longtime employees whose knowledge runs deep.
Discount Fabrics
After Britex, head to one of four outposts of a local bargain fabric store, Discount Fabrics. The downtown location of this "wholesale to the public" operation is located near the train station on Fourth Street in a utilitarian setting, with cement floors and warehouse shelving. And it has the bargains to match. There are plenty of 99-cent and $1.09- per-yard fabrics, and surprises, such as denim from Levi Strauss and recycled fleece.
More Discount Fabrics
The Discount Fabrics store in the Haight-Ashbury district carries more theatrical fabrics and fur, and the store near Golden Gate Park has more children's prints and home dec fabrics. The well-organized shop in Berkeley includes leather, fur and wools and trims.
In the Richmond District, on Clement Street, Fabrix is known for their low prices, and has regulars who stop by religiously knowing there are new bargains that arrive weekly. Here, fabrics are arranged by price, not type.
More Fabrix
Many of the bolts are remnants, and a good number are unlabeled. Most upholstery fabrics were under $10. The 100-percent cottons included Indian batistes and beautiful Italian prints for $1.99.
Satin Moon Fabrics
A few blocks away is a store that reflects the sophisticated tastes of its owners, sisters Susan and Alice Miyamoto, who have owned Satin Moon Fabrics for 35 years. The sisters specialize in fabrics for clothing and home decorating and their well-edited inventory is irresistible.
More Satin Moon Fabrics
The utterly unique fabrics at Satin Moon lures customers from all over Northern California. The sisters specialize in fabrics for clothing and home decorating, and note an uptick in interest in garment sewing starting about five years ago. "Now it's more about having something that's unique--as well as the joy of making something yourself," said Alice.
More Satin Moon Fabrics
The store's cottons include Amy Butler and Liberty of London prints, selections from Moda and FreeSpirit, pima solids, and satin batistes.
Black Cat Quilts
The only true quilt shop in San Francisco proper is not far away. Black Cat Quilts, in the Lakeside district, has been in business for a dozen years. The store's more-than-2,000- bolt inventory is particularly strong in batiks and Asian prints, and lots of tonal and novelty prints.
More Black Cat Quilts
True to the store's name, there is a large selection of cat-themed cottons, as well as a resident black cat, Pepper. Owner Gretchen Nelson offers more than 200 classes annually.
Mendels Far Out Fabrics
The Haight-Ashbury district is still truckin' after all these years, and is a shopping destination for anything handmade, recycled, retro, or on the fringe. Aptly-named, Mendels Far Out Fabrics has been around since the dawn of flower power in 1968.
More Mendels Far Out Fabrics
The shop has an incredible collection of plush and fake fur, 30 different patterns of oilcloth (all 49-inches wide for about $7 a yard), and has the corner on edgy novelty prints with skull and Day of the Dead motifs.
More Mendels Far Out Fabrics
There is also a good selection of unusual, colorful buttons. Mendels is also an art and craft supply store, making it a useful stop for beads and tie-dye supplies.
Silkroad Fabric
There are plenty of worthy reasons to venture to the East Bay for fabrics. One is Silkroad Fabric in downtown Oakland, a family-run business that has hundreds of bolts of silk from China and India, as well as interesting sheers, well-priced upholstery fabrics and some 100 percent cottons, including African prints.
More Silkroad Fabric
Among the silks are washable silk dupioni and nubby raw silk noil in more than two dozen colors. Fashion designers and bridal dressmakers are regular clients, as are sewers looking for satins and taffetas for prom and quinceanera dresses. The well-organized store has about 1,800 bolts, all of which are clearly and fully labeled-a real plus.
Stone Mountain and Daughter Fine Fabrics
Stone Mountain and Daughter in Berkeley has all the personality a shopper could want in a fabric store. It is owned by father and daughter duo Bob and Suzan Steinberg. It is owned by father and daughter duo Bob and Suzan Steinberg, part of a family that has been in the fabric business in California since 1919. This location has been open since 1981. (The name "Stone Mountain" is a translation of "Steinberg.")
More Stone Mountain and Daughter
Being close to UC Berkeley, the shop caters to everyone from non-sewers who want two yards for a toga party to fashion design students. It has a fantastic selection of threads, buttons, linens, Asian prints, batiks, Japanese cottons, mudcloth, cashmeres, and fashion fabrics.
More Stone Mountain and Daughter
There is an intriguing selection of garment patterns, including ethnic and retro designs from several small companies. Want to make a 1936 shaped seam skirt or a 40s nipped jacket? The patterns are here.
India Fabric Imports
Berkeley has a large East Indian population, with several stores specializing in traditional Indian clothing. India Fabric Imports, in west Berkeley, which sells clothing and fabric, has been in business for a quarter century.
More India Fabric Imports
Owner Jaswant "Sach" Sachdev and his wife, Rama, stock over 100 colors each of dupioni silk, Thai silk, and cotton gauze. Theater designers are regulars at the store, says Sachdev, as are restaurant designers. There are beautiful imports that you don't find everywhere else, such as painted chiffons. And how many other places can you find fabric for belly dancers?
New Pieces Quilt Store & Gallery
North Berkeley's wonderful multi-block shopping district along Solano Avenue is tailor-made for a good quilt shop. New Pieces Quilt Shop & Gallery is just the sort of shop you'd picture for the art quilters and forwardthinking traditional piecers who live in Berkeley: clear, bold contemporary fabrics, an enviable selection of Asian fabrics and inspirational quilt exhibits on the walls.
More New Pieces Quilt Store & Gallery
Check out the big selection of Lonni Rossi fabrics. Owner Sharona Fischrup has the open, welcoming personality that attracts customers, and the sense of fun in the shop is palpable.
Lacis Museum of Lace and Textiles
One of the most unusual textile stores in California, the Lacis Museum of Lace and Textiles has been in Berkeley since 1965. Founded by the late Kaethe Kliot and Jules Kliot, this treasure trove of lace and fiber scholarship, rare textiles, hard-to-find supplies, antiques and new inventory is a bit like going to a museum where you're allowed to purchase things.
More Lacis Museum of Lace and Textiles
Here's a tiny sampling of what's available: trim and ribbons, new and antique beads, acid-free boxes, crepeline and tulle for restoring quilts, rack after rack of threads, period patterns, hat-making supplies, an enormous book section (including rare and out-of-print books), tatting and crochet threads, antique linens, floss for Brazilian embroidery, bunka cord for tassels, old belt buckles and lace collars, new and old gloves, ostrich feathers and plumes, old purse handles and celluloid, bone, metal and bakelite uttons, plus bolt after bolt of beautiful laces by the yard.
More Lacis Museum of Lace and Textiles
In addition to housing two exhibits a year, the museum also sponsors workshops on topics such as lace knitting, needlefelting, Victorian corset making, bobbin lace, Brazilian embroidery and ribbon embroidery.
More Lacis Museum of Lace and Textiles
While there, we watched manager Erin Algeo, wearing fingerless curator's gloves, work on restoring a fine lace tablecloth, and came away grateful that the Kliots share their collections and their textile passions with the public.

"Verda" is one of the stories in Real Dreams: Thirty Years of Short Stories. It is also available to read on Wattpad. Visit www.mgedwards.com for more books, stories, and travelogues from author M.G. Edwards.
She rises in the evening sky like a beautiful green gem glowing in the early twilight. Watching over the earth, she bathes it in verdant light at the end of each day. She lies closer to our world than her barren twin, Luna, who shines brighter when the twilight turns to night. She is Verda, the green-tinged moon that orbits the earth. Also known as "Earth's Sister," the small moon has long been an object of human obsession. For millennia, people have gazed up at her and wondered what secrets she has hidden in her veiled green atmosphere. It was not until the late twentieth century at the dawn of the Space Age, however, that many of her secrets were revealed.

Thomas Nadelhoffer on Neuroscience, Philosophy, and Law
Posted by The Situationist Staff on August 12, 2010
From The Project on Law & Mind Sciences at Harvard Law School (PLMS):
Below is a fascinating and enlightening 51-minute interview of Thomas Nadelhoffer by Harvard Law Student Brian Wood. The interview, titled "Developments in Neuroscience and their Implications for Criminal Law," lasts just over 51 minutes. It was conducted the Law and Mind Science Seminar at Harvard (taught by Situationist Editor Jon Hanson).
Situationist Contributor Dr. Thomas Nadelhoffer was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. He has earned degrees in philosophy from The University of Georgia (BA), Georgia State University (MA), and Florida State University (PhD). Since 2006, he has been an assistant professor of philosopy and a member of the law and policy faculty at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. He is currently at Duke University as a Visiting Scholar in the Kenan Institute for Ethics.
His main areas of research include moral psychology, the philosophy of action, free will, punishment theory, and neurolaw. He is particularly interested in research at the cross roads of philosophy and the sciences of the mind. His articles have appeared in journals such as Analysis, Midwest Studies in Philosophy, Mind & Language, Neuroethics, and Philosophy and Phenomenological Research. He is the coordinator of the blogs Flickers of Freedom and the Law and Neuroscience Blog. He is also a contributing author to blogs such as The Situationist, The Leiter Reports, and Experimental Philosophy.

THE story of the week/month/season is
A few key morning-after issues:
*Where would you rank Rutgers NOW?
*Did the Big East/Rutgers earn nat'l respect?
*Which wannabe-BCS contenders benefit most?
*Is the pending BCS controversy good or bad for CFB?
*Should Ray Rice be the new Heisman favorite?
I'd rank Rutgers in the Top 3; where would YOU rank them?
More on today's radar:
LeBron is NOT a quitter! (Or so he insists.) After leading the Cavs over the Bulls last night, he made sure not to leave the court before the game was over, as he controversially did in a Cavs L to the Hawks the other night. LBJ in smooth damage-control mode! (Even smoother than his 12 assists last night.)
More NBA: (1) Hornets get tagged with their first loss of the season (to the score-first, ask-questions-later Warriors). (2) And the Mavs FINALLY won their first game, though beating the Suns (now 1-5) ain't what it was a mere six months ago, in the Western Conference Finals, now is it?
NFL: Coming later today: Complete NFL Week 10 preview. As an appetizer, how big of an idiot is Plax Burress for calling out the Bears DBs as "very beatable?"
MLB Rumors and More: Are the Yankees going to deal Gary Sheffield to the Tigers? Are the Red Sox going to sign new free agent JD Drew? Will next year finally be Biggio's last in an Astros uni? And when will we find out which team won the bidding war for the rights to negotiate with Daisuke Matsuzama?
Did you notice that I posted my usual college football weekend preview last night? If you missed it, scroll down or click here. Biggest pick: Northwestern over
Welcome to college hoops, Kevin Durant: The
The NCAA has every right to crow about student-athletes graduating at a higher rate than non-athletes, but I'll bet there are some stat fiends out there who can debunk the level of giddy I-told-you-so's from the NCAA.
JoePa is a no-go for Saturday's game vs.
Veteran's Day Weekend is an appropriate time for the Cardinals to honor Pat Tillman. Now, it's time for the Pro Football Hall of Fame to fast-track his candidacy.
Finally: After sleeping on it, yes, Ray Rice is STILL at the very top of my Heisman ballot, ahead of Ohio St QB Troy Smith.

Brand America: Is anyone buying it?
Forget about the recently reported development of over 300 separate terror groups in Iraq since the fall of Saddam. Analysis by Zogby International, a respected polling and market research firm, has shown that with few exceptions the American image abroad is identified with aggression, lack of understanding and intransigence. No one seems to like us anymore, anywhere.
As a result, foreign tourism in the U.S. (a very big source of revenue) is falling, and not just because of unfavorable exchange rates (a litmus in itself of American ``currency'') and tightened visa requirements.
The Bush administration has responded by charging former presidential aide Karen Hughes with communicating the good news about America more forcefully, creating a budget within the State Department for a carefully crafted PR campaign, including a special broadcast network and more ``public diplomacy.''
So far, there have been few signs of progress. Recent news reports suggest the government's broadcast outlet in Baghdad has become a source for news with a negative slant towards America. The impact of the Hughes program as a whole has been underwhelming. It's tough to spin when a civil war triggered by misplaced American aggression is raging and a whole people are being destroyed.
John Kerry stood up on the stage at the Walnut Hill School in Natick last weekend and tried to explain the larger dynamic at work in the Middle East, but whatever his take in Islamic history and yours on foreign trade, diplomacy and aid, as a nation we have managed to spend down all the sympathy we accrued after 9/11 into a position of isolation defined by contempt.
But it's not just Muslims who are giving America a bad rap.
You can kiss off the rest of the world with a wave of your hand and say, ``Who cares?'' (as a surprising number of people who should know better do). But as the price of oil continues to ratchet up, the trade deficit follows suit and our reputation as a bully and an agent of global environmental degradation grows (we never did sign off on land mine removal and the Kyoto accords), it should come as no surprise that our reputation is suffering everywhere.
Which is why the next president of the United States would do well to include Dick Martin among his or her panel of close advisors. It would be the healthiest thing that's happened to the executive branch in a long time. Certainly Martin, who is a master of the podium and thinks like a social scientist and a clinical psychologist, would be a superb asset.
Martin, who was in town recently to meet with members of the Public Relations Society of America on the advice of Pat Pollino, a Wellesley PR counselor with a wide following, is on a lonely road. He's retired now from a career at AT&T, where he headed up PR for the company. At the request of the American Management Association, he has written a book of extraordinary insight called ``Rebuilding Brand America - What we must do to restore our reputation and safeguard American business abroad,'' and not a moment too soon.
But is anyone listening to Dick Martin?
Branding is a commercial art equivalent to neurosurgery in complexity and ambiguity, but not in Martin's hands. ``It's a promise that meets its recipient's aspirations and fulfills a trust,'' he says, noting that America, like Coke or Pepsi, is a brand in and of itself.
``The American flag is the symbol of that brand,'' he says, but it's not about being commercial or even well known. ``It's a promise backed up by the Declaration of Independence,'' he adds, ``about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness - Your God-given birthright.''
In France, Germany and Japan, Martin notes, less than a quarter of the population even believes that any more.
It would be nice if ``Rebuilding Brand America'' were a prescriptive. It is packed with illuminating data and practical suggestions, including redeveloping cultural exchanges and aid programs like the hundreds of millions given by American businesses to assist victims of the Indonesian tsunami. But Martin says that that is not enough.
All Americans, he suggests, including you, me and your family and friends, must begin to gain a significantly broader and deeper level of understanding about other countries and people, and do it sooner rather than later.
``That's because branding is first and foremost an experience,'' Martin says. While experiencing brand America abroad usually occurs in the form of a product (although most of we seem to export these days is jobs and television shows dripping with sex and violence), it's those person-to-person interactions that make all the difference.
Martin points to Rotary International as a constructive example, which with 42 clubs in MetroWest is an important local source of benevolence. Across the U.S. and around the world, Rotary members collaborate with the World Health Organization and the Gates Foundation to help eradicate polio. Rotarians, while working in their communities, also sponsor scores of missions to do everything from repair cleft lips and malformed hearts to endowing worthy international students to come to America.
With more than 32,000 clubs in over 200 countries and 1.2 million members around the world with which to work, American Rotarians are fulfilling Martin's injunction in all sorts of constructive ways.
The ``Ugly American,'' published in 1958 as a guide to combating communism on the ground through understanding and quiet, sympathetic action is no less relevant today. It's time for some serious outreach.
Dick Martin shows us that by rebuilding the American brand we're not just ``spinning'' a story. It's time to have a frank chat with the world, folks, and the sooner we start talking and really listening, the better.

As time passes, it is more and more difficult to maintain the old Windguru website...
All the efforts are now invested into continuous development of the new site. New Windguru features and updates require many internal changes that may cause conflicts and troubles to the old site.
Please consider switching to the new site.
It may take some time to get used to it, but you will not regret.
For all of you ultra conservative old school users ;-) I'll do my best and try to keep the old forecast display as long as possible, but please understand that it is too complicated to keep everything as it was forever.
Thanks for understanding!

The Washington Nationals have announced that they will be hosting open auditions this Saturday, March 7 for those who wish to sing the National Anthem this season at Nationals Park.
The first 100 performers to register through e-mail at email@example.com will have the opportunity to show the powers that be that they have the pipes to perform during a Washington Nationals home game this season. All applicants will be asked to perform the anthem behind home plate facing the seating bowl as they would during the season.
Applicants are asked to include the following in their e-mail:
– Performance Resume (If applicable)
– Headshot (or recent picture)
– Voice (and Instrument type, if applicable)
On Saturday, registration will begin at noon and end promptly at 12:30pm, at the Centerfield gates. Parking will be available in Lot C, located on the corner of First and N Streets, SE. Only the person auditioning will be allowed to enter the ballpark, except for contestants under the age of 18 who must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Renditions must be kept under 90 seconds.
If you can't make it Saturday, you can still send an application via email along with a tape, but Nationals Entertainment Director Tom Davis reports that the team receives thousands of requests, so showing up Saturday may be your best bet to stand out.
My vote, however, goes to these kids!:

Well, I am anxious to know what Obamamessiah has said about this:
The New York Times, citing classified intelligence documents and unnamed officials, reports that terrorist operatives have been making efforts to buy large quantities of castor beans – which contain the toxic ricin protein – and shift them to a remote tribal area controlled by insurgents for processing.
Ricin is so poisonous that inhalation of a few minute grains is enough to kill an adult. It was used in deadly incidents including the 1978 assassination in London of Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov and, in 2002, was the subject of a bioterrorism scare in the UK capital following a police raid on a facility said to be plotting its manufacture.
US officials are reported to have told Mr Obama that an attack is not imminent and that the terrorist arm has yet to formulate a means for dispersing it as a weapon.
They believe that the ultimate goal is to find an effective means of packing the white powder around explosives and detonating the devices in packed public areas such as shopping malls and airports, the New York Times revealed.
via Yemen: Barack Obama warned that al-Qaeda planning ricin attack – Telegraph.

Apple has been continuously improving its Maps app and data since the service was launched in iOS 6, but for city dwellers one core weakness remains: a lack of public transit directions. Apple Maps will suggest third-party transit apps for use on particular systems, but doing it that way requires hopping between apps with inconsistent designs and features just to find out where you're going.
A pair of Apple job listings spotted by MacRumors indicates that the company is working to improve this situation. The Maps Public Transit Engineering Manager and Maps Public Transit C++ Software Engineer job listings mention "the next generation of Maps services" and call Public Transit "one of the most anticipated features of Apple Maps." It's not exactly a confirmation that public transit directions are coming to Maps, but the listings strongly suggest that Apple is working to implement the feature—the Transit Routing team will apparently be responsible for "build[ing] the world's best Transit Routing platform at massive scale."
Public transit directions were last a part of iOS in version 5, back when Apple was still using Google Maps data to power the app. As Google and Apple have gotten more competitive, Apple has worked to distance itself somewhat from Google's services. Google Maps and other Google-made apps are all available for download in the App Store, however, and Apple still uses Google as its default search provider in iOS 7.

Mom always said to eat your vegetables, so this Mother's Day serve her breakfast in bed inspired by a walk through the garden.
We began with the idea of egg-in-a-hat — sometimes called egg-in-a-basket or a Popeye — in which an egg is cracked into a hole cut in the center of a slice of bread. The whole thing is pan-fried, usually just until the white is set and the yolk remains liquid. The idea is that as you eat it, the yolk breaks and soaks the toast with a warm, creamy sauce.
Instead of toast, we used the same idea with a bed of vegetables. We sauteed a vegetable hash, then nestled eggs into the center of it. To amp the flavor, we also tossed in some prosciutto and cheese. The result is not only beautiful, but also healthy and satisfying.
Skillet Garden Eggs With Fontina
Start to finish: 20 minutes. Servings: 2.
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 slices prosciutto, chopped
1 small red onion, chopped
2 cups chopped Swiss chard (preferably rainbow)
1⁄2 small zucchini, finely chopped
1⁄2 cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes
Salt and ground black pepper
4 eggs
1⁄2 cup grated fontina cheese
In a large nonstick skillet over medium, heat the olive oil. Add the prosciutto and onion and saute until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the Swiss chard and zucchini and cook for another 5 to 6 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and beginning to brown.
Add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Stir well, then arrange the vegetables in an even layer. Using a spoon, create 4 wells in the vegetables, each about 2 inches across. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook until just shy of desired doneness, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Sprinkle the cheese over the vegetables and eggs, then cover and cook for another minute. Use a spatula to transfer half of the vegetables and 2 eggs onto each plate.

Homes a peak into the past
Surely the popularity of open houses and home-renovation shows reflects not just America's love of real estate, but also the thrill of peeking into other people's lives, as revealed through their choices of furnishings and paint color.
Historic houses offer the chance to examine past lives, and New England has no shortage of old homes available for the touring. Thom Roach, director of publicity and programming for Gore Place in Waltham, said the past comes alive in the sitting rooms and halls of these residences.
"This is the history of the area, in these houses," Roach said. "Rather than just read about history, you can go to the places where people made history."
MetroWesters can choose from plenty of historic properties that help tell the story of the region's - and the nation's - origins, architecture and literary achievements. Built over the span of more than two centuries, these six homes were once the addresses of famous writers, a Revolutionary War general, a visionary architect, a philanthropist and a politician.
Artemas Ward House
When history hands out accolades, it isn't especially kind to those who finish in second place. Meet Shrewsbury's Artemas Ward, who commanded the militia at the start of the Revolutionary War before becoming George Washington's number-two man in the Continental Army.
Though Ward was an accomplished man in his own right, Washington got the starring role in history books, the presidency and the dollar bill. After the war, Ward was active in local government and politics, and his resume included stints as a state representative, a U.S. congressman and a Worcester County judge.
The house on Main Street had been in the family for decades, and Ward got the house in 1765. In 1925, one of his descendants gave the Colonial house to Harvard University, with the promise that the institution would preserve the house and keep Ward's legacy alive. As a result, visitors can view centuries-old furniture, original architectural features and some of Ward's clothing, including his well-preserved felt tricorn hat. People can also learn about several generations of Ward relatives who lived in the house over the course of two centuries.
Gore Place
One of several old estates in Waltham, Gore Place is the historic house that almost wasn't. The estate that had belonged to a Massachusetts governor in the early 1800s changed hands several times over the next century, even becoming a golf course clubhouse at one point.
By 1935, a bank was ready to tear down the house and sell off the land, until some preservationists staged a phone campaign and raised about $15,000 over a weekend to save the estate. Their efforts mean that people today still have a chance to tour the gracious 1806 brick mansion that was once home to Christopher and Rebecca Gore.
Christopher Gore became the state's first governor in 1809, and was a diplomat, a U.S. senator, and the state's first U.S. attorney, appointed by George Washington. With a guest list that once included Marquis de Lafayette, David Webster and James Monroe, the Gores' Federal mansion tells the story of the couple and of a fledgling nation.
The house's standouts include a John Singleton Copley painting of two of Gore's sisters, and some early innovations such as heated floors and indoor plumbing. People can also walk around the estate's 45 acres and spend time at the farm, which includes sheep, goats and chickens.
Gropius House
In 1938, the formation of the flat-roofed, boxy house with industrial windows must have come as a shock to neighbors in this bucolic area of Lincoln, but they were about to become acquainted with one of the most revolutionary figures of 20th century architecture.
Walter Gropius founded and ran the Bauhaus design school in Germany, until the Nazis took power and closed the doors of the forward-thinking school. After a stint in London, Gropius came to Massachusetts to teach at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and influence the next several generations of architects.
His house still contains Bauhaus furniture and gifts from family friends, like paintings from artist Joan Miro and the pre-Columbian figurines provided by Diego Rivera.
Unlike other historic homes, Gropius House is still new enough that the tours attract visitors who had been to the house before, as Gropius' guests.
"It's a house that bore witness to so much that was influential in modern design in this country," said David Moore, Gropius House's site manager. The design emphasizes simplicity, efficiency and open space. And while it may seem at odds with its surroundings, the house actually embraces its setting, with its clever uses of white clapboard and stone, and harmonious interaction with nature.
Old Manse
Next to Concord River and the North Bridge, the Old Manse stands at the intersection of American military and literary history. The 1770 house first belonged to the Rev. William Emerson, grandfather of Ralph Waldo Emerson, and in 1842 it got another impressive tenant in the form of Nathaniel Hawthorne. The writer and his wife, Sophia, spent the first few years of their marriage there, and the house still speaks volumes to their newlywed happiness, particularly the windowpane love notes and musings the Hawthornes etched with Sophia's diamond ring.
The grounds also include a recreation of the vegetable garden Henry David Thoreau planted for the couple as a wedding present. The house gets its name from "Mosses From an Old Manse," a collection of short stories Hawthorne wrote while living there. Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote his famous "Nature" essay several years before, when he lived in the house.
Orchard House
A walk through Louisa May Alcott's home is a trip through the real-life version of "Little Women," the classic novel Alcott penned while living in the house. The story of the four young March women is based on Alcott's own experiences growing up with three sisters in the mid-19th century.
After leading a nomadic existence of sorts, the Alcotts moved into Orchard House in 1858. The house still showcases many of the same furnishings owned by the family, such as Alcott's writing desk and paintings and sketches made by her sister May (who inspired the character of Amy March).
The patriarch of the family, Bronson Alcott, who was a transcendental philosopher and educator, started the Concord School of Philosophy on the property, and people can still visit the building. He encouraged his daughters to pursue all of their intellectual and artistic interests, a fairly radical notion at the time.
Beyond "Little Women," Louisa May Alcott fit many other accomplishments into her 55-year life, including working as a nurse during the Civil War and writing dozens of novels and story collections.
Stonehurst, the Robert Treat Paine Estate
Now owned by the city of Waltham, Stonehurst brought together two friends and giants in their respective fields: architect Henry Hobson Richardson, who designed Trinity Church in Copley Square, and Frederick Law Olmsted, the landscape architect who created Central Park in New York and Boston's Emerald Necklace.
Philanthropist Robert Treat Paine and his family had built a summer house on a Waltham hill in 1866, and in 1884 the family asked Richardson to build an addition to the home. Richardson's "addition" now dominates the residence, with its prominent stonework, dramatic arch entrance and wood-paneled great hall.
Olmsted helped give the Paines, and visitors today, the beautiful hilltop views from the house and patio. Stonehurst's landscaping and the wooded trails next to the house make people forget that they are still in urban Waltham.

"Eat Me: 169 Fun Recipes From All Over the World," by Paul R. DeLancey
From the author of "We're French and You're Not" and "The Fur West," De Lancey entertains supreme as he distills cooking to the simplest of terms — from boiling water (and identifying the stove) to preparing timeless classics from every corner of the globe including scrumptious Beef Stroganoff and Greek Wraps with tzatziki sauce. Every recipe is followed by hilarious tidbits, such as, "King Louis XV ate boiled eggs every Sunday. This practice ceased with his death." Eat Me is a cookbook spiced with comedy, leavened with silliness while still fully informative and functional. A great read for anyone's kitchen.

Food Quiz Answer
A. Wines that have gone through malolactic fermentation. Wines that undergo malolactic fermentation (a chemical process that changes a wine's acidity) may feel smoother than ones that don't; they might even seem creamy. That's because malolactic fermentation transforms tart malice acid into softer lactic acid (the same kind in milk).

Want to save?
Start looking for your leaks!
By Diana Marszalek
Associated Press
Modern living does not have to be so expensive, energy efficiency experts say.
They cite a host of simple ways to cut energy consumption without sacrificing comfort or lifestyle. From sealing air leaks to unplugging cell-phone chargers, these recommended improvements don't require big-ticket purchases like windows or air or heating systems (although those may be necessary in some cases).
Many energy-saving moves are so inexpensive, relatively speaking, that they quickly pay for themselves.
Unless you're living in an ultra-modern, ultra-energy-efficient home, the only way to rein in those utility bills is to first show your home a little love. Sealing air leaks - primarily gaps in construction - and upgrading insulation are the No. 1 ways to nip energy waste, said Scott Stefan, a home energy auditor for Elmsford, N.Y.-based BrightHome Energy Solutions.
"American homes are built for cheap energy and we are not in the cheap energy era anymore," he said. "Almost every home you go into is badly insulated and leaks a lot of air."
Air leaks, often found around foundations, pipes, recessed lights and chimneys, can be easily identified and sealed; many states have programs that contract with people like Stefan to help you find the source of the problems.
But even sealing your house nice and tight (while still leaving enough airflow for proper ventilation) won't really do the job if your insulation has stopped doing its job, Stefan said. Warm air can escape right through insulation that's been in place for 25 years or more.
"We all recognize that we have to replace our cars and computers, and people love to do that," he said. "But most people have really old insulation - and it's really beaten down and it's not doing them any good."
The cost of sealing leaks or updating insulation varies greatly depending on where you live and the complexity of the job. But "the energy you save from doing this work will more than cover the cost of the work itself," Stefan said.
Such steps tend to be considerably cheaper than, for instance, replacing leaky windows, another energy-saving step. That could run into the tens of thousands of dollars - although it often could be avoided simply by hanging storm windows in the winter, experts say.
Many state-run energy savings programs offer homeowners low-interest loans to help upgrade energy efficiency, Stefan said.
Another way to cut energy consumption is to unplug all those "energy vampires" that suck up electricity even when they're not being used, said Ken Collier, editor-in-chief at The Family Handyman.
A typical American home has 40 devices, including TVs, cell-phone chargers and computers, that continually draw power even when they seem to be turned off, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. U.S. households spend approximately $100 per year - roughly 8 percent of household electricity costs - to power such devices while not in use. Collier said the expense could be closer to $70 a month.
The easiest way to eliminate those costs is to plug your devices into power strips and turn those power strips off when you wrap things up for the day, he said. Another good option is a product called Smart Strip, which looks like a regular power strip but automatically turns off equipment that it senses is not being used.
Using a programmable thermostat and switching to energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs also can yield substantial savings, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
Today's appliances are 40 percent more efficient than those just 14 years old, Stefan said. That's especially important with big energy suckers like refrigerators, which typically use more energy than anything else in the house.
As for light bulbs, Stefan said that only 6 percent of the electricity drawn by traditional bulbs is turned into light. The rest becomes heat.
"It is a very inefficient technology - and it should be. It was invented in the 1800s," he said.
Today's light bulbs can provide energy savings of up to 75 percent and last 10 to 25 times longer than traditional bulbs, according to the Energy Department.
"This is not political or ideological," Stefan said. "It's plain old common sense."

Bush visit wows tornado victims
While Greensburg residents concentrated on their mission to salvage any shred of their former lives Wednesday, President Bush focused on his mission to back the community's determination.
"My mission today is to lift people's spirits the best that I can, to hopefully touch somebody's soul," the president said during a statement to the press pool after speaking to a gathering of victims in the heart of the town's residential area. "I want to let them know that even though there was a dark day in the past, there are brighter days ahead."
Until Bush's visit, five days after an F-5 tornado razed the south central Kansas town, smiles and words of joy were reserved for times when friends were reunited or a precious treasure was uncovered in the debris. But the president's arrival marked the first widespread appearance of beaming smiles.
"We're proud of you and love you," said a man who approached the president as he visited with the first group of residents in front of the John Deere dealership. Bush offered words of encouragement and hugs to a group of sullen residents.
"He said, 'I'm sorry you're going through this' and that he and the first lady were with us," said Debra Wilder, whose home was on Grant. "He said he was sorry several times."
Others who attempted to approach the president from neighboring blocks were either scanned with a metal detector or turned away by Secret Service. But the president still acknowledged the onlookers, waving to them.
As the procession of vehicles winded through the streets of Greensburg, the president was given a peek at the streets and blocks littered with what was once a pleasant rural town of 1,400 residents. Parts of homes sprang up on the streets among the debris. Spray-painted words covered the fronts of some with messages of hope and pride.
"God bless us," read one. "G-burg Rangers 4-ever," read another home down the same street. Other messages showed that some residents hadn't lost their humor. "Please pardon our mess," read a make-shift sign propped up against a home.
But the president focused on the people, shaking hands, giving out hugs and pats on the back, and even joking with a few.
"You know, you shouldn't hang that up there," he joked to one resident, nodding up to a curtain wrapped around the jagged end of a tree limb. People eagerly waved as the motorcade inched through town. Others snapped photos and shot video.
And as Bush approached the corner of Bay and Garfield, a crowd of more than 100 residents gathered.
"Smile everybody," said one resident as media snapped photos. "I'm so glad I came home today," another resident commented. But in all the time the president spent in Greensburg, work continued.
Members of the National Guard hacked up tree branches strewn on the ground with chainsaws and residents continued to rummage through their rubble as the president chatted with neighbors.
Some residents paused long enough to catch a peek of Bush and his entourage, but quickly continued work. Just before the president entered an area where several volunteer groups and FEMA are set up near the Kiowa County Courthouse, FEMA workers continued working with residents to help them access assistance.
Some residents said they wished everyone had had the chance to see the president.
"It means a lot to people (that he was here)," said resident Devan Dellenbach, who along with her husband, Josh, just missed the president's courthouse appearance. "But it would help if everyone could see him."
But the pair said they understood that the president had to be protected. And despite not seeing Bush in person, the pair said they got the message. "It sends a message to the community that people outside of Kiowa County and outside of Kansas are thinking about us, worrying about us and pledging the prayers for us.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is marking the fifth anniversary of the Lehman Brothers collapse by trying to lay claim to an economic turnaround and warning Republicans against moves that he contends would risk a backslide.
His message to the GOP: don't oppose raising the nation's debt limit, don't threaten to close down the government in a budget fight, and don't push to delay the health care law or starve it of federal money.
The economic emphasis, after weeks devoted to the Syrian crisis, begins coming into focus in a series of events kicked off by a Rose Garden speech Monday. It's a determined effort to confront public skepticism about his stewardship of the economy and to put down his marker for budget clashes with Congress in the weeks ahead.
The White House argues that a better capitalized and better regulated financial sector is extending more credit, fueling an economy now able to withstand headwinds such as spending cuts and tax increases.
"You can draw this straight line from the health of the financial system to the ways the financial system impacts the economy," said Jason Furman, the chairman of Obama's Council of Economic Advisers.
Obama can point to a growing economy, rising housing prices, 35 straight months of hiring, a rebounding stock market and other signs of recovery.
Five years after the federal government stepped in and infused banks with $245 billion in taxpayer money to avert a financial meltdown, the government has been paid back nearly in full.
Sunday is the fifth anniversary of Lehman's bankruptcy, which was the largest in U.S. history. The firm's demise marked the beginning of the global financial crisis and was a major catalyst of the financial meltdown.
"We've put more people back to work, but we've also cleared away the rubble of crisis and laid the foundation for stronger and more durable economic growth," Obama said during his recent trip to Russia.
"And as Congress takes up important decisions in the coming months, I'm going to keep making the case for the smart investments and fiscal responsibility that keep our economy growing, creates jobs and keeps the U.S. competitive. That includes making sure we don't risk a U.S. default over paying bills we've already racked up."
Obama intends to highlight that progress to economists and other guests at the White House on Monday, and his National Economic Council is set to release a report detailing the economic advances.
Obama planned to discuss the economy as part of an interview airing Sunday on ABC's "This Week" and scheduled a speech Wednesday to the Business Roundtable, an association of CEOs from the biggest U.S. companies.
But the public is not convinced that the economy is on the mend. Only one-third say the economic system is more secure now than in 2008, and 52 per cent say they disapprove of Obama's handling of the economy, according to a Pew Research Center poll. There is still plenty of pain to justify their pessimism.
Despite job growth, the unemployment rate remains high at 7.3 per cent. Though the rate has fallen, one of the reasons is because some people have dropped out of the labour force and no longer are counted as job seekers. The income gap between the very rich and the rest of the population is the biggest since 1928.
"We have genuinely made progress. We genuinely have more work to do," said Furman.
What's more, some banks that received government aid because they were deemed "too big to fail" are now bigger than they were in 2008, but they are smaller as a share of the economy than the largest banks in other big economies. Three years after Obama signed a sweeping overhaul of lending and high-finance rules, execution of the law is behind schedule.
"We should not accept a financial system that allows the biggest banks to emerge from a crisis in record-setting shape while ordinary Americans continue to struggle," said Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat who watched over the bank bailout as head of a special oversight panel.
This glass-half-empty-glass-half-full state of the economy has produced competing story lines about the role Obama's administration has played in getting the country to this point. Did Obama's approach validate the philosophy of spending your way out of crisis or did some of his policies actually slow the recovery?
The bank bailout, which started during the closing weeks of President George W. Bush's term, was highly unpopular but is generally credited with stabilizing the financial system.
Obama continued the program and ultimately used some of the $700 billion that had been allocated to prop up the financial system to bail out General Motors and Chrysler, a move generally accepted as a success.
Still, voters in 2009 and 2010 rebelled, and the bank bailout vote cost some lawmakers their seats.
Former Rep. Barney Frank, the Massachusetts Democrat who headed the House Financial Services Committee, noted the other day that "you don't get credit for disaster averted."
Some conservative economists say the $800 billion stimulus Obama pushed for in 2009 initially did help reverse the plunging economy, even though some liberals insist the dollar amount should have been even bigger.
But much of the credit for the current recovery, tepid as it may be, goes to the Federal Reserve. It has held short-term interests rates near zero and has undertaken a massive bond purchase program that has supported spending, lifted stocks and kept home mortgage rates at near record lows.
"The Fed was the single biggest policy move in the crisis. No question about it," said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a former director of the Congressional Budget Office and top economic adviser to Republican Sen. John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign.
The question that defines the debate is not so much whether government steps helped, but whether it could have done more to accelerate the recovery. Many Democrats and liberal-leaning economists say the economy needed more stimulus. But Republicans, worried about skyrocketing deficits, cut back on spending instead.
Now many say the economy needs long term measures that would reduce spending on entitlement programs such as Medicare and Social Security and that would overhaul and simplify the tax system.
"We've done too much temporary targeted intervention, we're passed the time for that," said Holtz-Eakin, who now heads the American Action Forum, a conservative public policy institute. "It's no longer 2008 when things were falling like a rock. It's time to have long-term growth policies. We don't have them."
Obama and Republicans are at a stalemate, however.
Obama has proposed some changes that would reduce spending on Social Security and Medicare, including an adjustment that would lower cost-of-living adjustments. But he has insisted on more tax revenue by closing what he says are loopholes for the rich, a step Republicans won't take.
The impasse has revived threats of a government shutdown after the current budget year ends Sept. 30 and, more economically damaging, a default if Congress can't agree to raise the debt ceiling later in October.
Some conservative Republicans say they will only extend current spending levels or increase the debt ceiling if Obama delays putting in place his health care law, a condition Obama has flatly rejected.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has tried to keep the focus on spending reductions, even as some on his right insist on defunding or delaying the health care law.
"This year the federal government will bring in more revenue than any year in the history of our government, and yet we will still have nearly a $700 billion budget deficit," he said. "We have a spending problem. It must be addressed, period."

Ethnic Stories
Ethnic Stories can only be beautifully designed by experienced people. Ethnic Stories definitely requires a lot of practice and effort. If the beginners have a lot of training and effort, This type of design can be created very easily and beautifully.
If you are going to put a design on a blouse, Take a close look at the sample design and see what kind of materials are used.
Now i am going to explain the Ethnic Stories, Please see the image Above
First you should select the designs, Then prepare and keep the necessary items. I am going to explain step by step how to design Ethnic Stories with aari work.
Materials needed for Ethnic Stories
Look clearly at the blouse design given above and find out what kind of materials are used on the arm area, back neck and front neck areas. All of the materials used are given below.
Aari Stand
Aari Frame ( adjustable screw type )
Aari Needle ( Hand Needles )
Sugar Beads
Karthana (Half Bead)
Zardosi (Golden Zardosi )
Zari Thread (Golden jari thread )
Running Stone Chains
Antique and Gold Beads
Kundans Stones
Tracing Pencil or Glass Marking Pencil
Zarthosi Needle
Carbon Paper
Mirror/ Blouse Glass Work
Lakshmi Coin for Aari Work
Thread Cutter/Thread Clipper
Measuring Tape
Fabric Glue, Embroidery Glue
Butter paper
Find the right items to design a blouse and take note of them, check and buy the items needed to design a blouse at the right store.
You can easily design Ethnic Stories by following the steps below
Step 1 :
Choose the right fabric for the Ethnic Stories
Step 2 :
how to use aari frame and how to fit the clothes properly
It consists of two round wooden frames, one of which is a small round wooden frame and the other a very large adjustable frame. Place the fabric to be embroidered exactly on top of the small round wooden frame, then attach the large round frame to that fabric on top of the small fabric. The adjustment of that large frame should be locked in place with the correct tightness, then slightly pull the fabric on the outside of the frame to make sure the fabric on the inside of the frame is tight. Now the general we sew by hand will be correct and our vision will be correct.
Step 3 : "Ethnic Stories "
Use the old blouse with the right body size and check the sizes of the blouse that will be made into the new design.
Note: If the body size of the old blouse is incorrect, the newly designed blouse will be incorrect, so attention is required.
Step 4 :
The back neck of the Ethnic Stories that are being designed are "U – shape", which can accurately measure old blouse sizes. If the blouse does not fit the body size, measure the new one. Maybe customers want a different shape of the back neck.
for example
U – shape
ப – shape
v – shape
Butterfly shape
Full closed back neck
Half Pot shape
Pot shape and more
Back neck U shape model (Ethnic Stories )
Step 5 :
Drawing the design on the blouse
How to draw a design, look at the picture above and draw the design neatly and clearly, use the Marking Pencil to draw the picture. If there is any mistake in the drawing while drawing the design, erase it using an eraser.
Drawing method with carbon paper
Take the required design paper and carbon paper. First place the carbon paper on the blouse in the right place, then place the drawing on the carbon paper so that it does not move, and then draw with a pencil or pen on the drawing.
Step 6 :
The back neck should be sewn with Zari twice around the initial border area, Thus when sewn twice the border area is strengthened to prevent tearing, when the fabric is cut and sewn.
Note : Look clearly at the picture above Ethnic Stories, whether the blouse design is sewn with a zari on the border at the back neck area or not, incase not sewn the zari please avoid stitching with zari on the blouse design.
Step 7 :
Sew with sugar beads, near the zari already sewn twice
How to sew sugar beads: Take the golden tailoring thread and tie the knot at the starting point where you want to sew, Then attach the sugar beads to the beads needle, Sew the sugar beads with the knotted thread, Thus sew the beads back together with the needle
Note : Look clearly at the picture above, whether the blouse design is sewn with sugar beads on the border at the back neck area or not, incase not sewn the sugar beads please avoid stitching with sugar beads on the blouse design.
Step 8 :
Clearly design the back neck border on the given blouse, and when the border section is finished, look at the other blank area on the blouse and see what kind of designs are on that empty area.
Look at the design in the area other than the back neck border of the model blouse given above, similarly, draw the design on your new blouse and use the same materials in the design
Step 9 :
Hand area (Sleeve Part)
This is the heart of the design, The hand part is the main part of the design, The area that gives the most beauty, More attention is needed in designing the hand area,
There are two types of hand area
1. Small hand
2. Long hand (elbow)
Note: More attention is required when marking the size of the hands
Although the right hand and left hand are the same size, the design is a little different
Although small hand and large hand (elbove), the design is a little different, Blouse users may have more or less arm circumference, Small changes in design are likely to occur during that time.
Step 10 :
More attention needs to be paid to the design of the hand part in the blouse, take a look at the hand design in the picture above and find out what kind of design is in the initial border area of the hand, using what materials. Also design the Ethnic Stories arm area border with the right materials,
After designing the sleeve border, look at the rest of the section and design your blouse by looking at what kind of designs are available, the materials used to design the sleeve area of the blouse, etc.
Step 11 :
Design and create the left hand in the same way as the right hand,
Draw The Designs on Tracing method
If you have an already drawn picture or a copied picture, you can use it to draw designs on the blouse in a traceable manner, which requires carbon paper.
Hand Part ( sleeve)
The left-hand design should be the same as the right-hand design. It uses paper twisting on the design,
Place the white paper on the right hand design and place it on the blouse design so that the white paper does not move.
Now gently tweak the top of the white paper with a pencil so that the pattern on the blouse is on the twisted paper and twist until the desired size is desired.
Draw the copy on the left hand with carbon paper and make sure the design is correct after drawing.
Now The Ethnic Stories is ready.
Ethnic Stories can be designed beautifully and without error only if you follow the above steps correctly.
Ethnic Stories protection method
It is very important to protect the hard-designed blouse
The dirt on the blouse is easily discolored
Wearing a discolored blouse does not give beauty
Objects that change color easily
Sugar beads (golden color)
Large beads (gold color)
Running Stone
Dirty objects with golden color
The main reason for the change in color is the perspiration and temperature in our body in general
Gold-colored cosmetics, at a temperature of 30 degrees, undergo a chemical transformation along with a mixture with air, so the color changes easily.
Things to do to keep the color unchanged
Cover the designed blouse well with an airtight polythene cover and then place on a shelf
Hip size For Ethnic Stories
The Ethnic Stories can be divided into two sections
Aari work design
Stitching properly
Aari Work design depends on the designer
Stitching depends on the tailor
If the design is incorrect it is the designer's fault,
It is the tailor's fault if the body sizes and fit are not correct,
Only if these two are right, the wedding blouse will be perfect and the beauty will be great,
Waist size is very important, you can not wear a blouse if the size increases or decreases,
The waist size of the blouse is high and will be uncomfortable after wearing,
Blouse waist size is low, can not be worn to be tight,

Will Ted Cruz leave the GOP fat, drunk and pregnant?
Pat Cunningham
Jay Bookman offer THIS SNARKY TAKE on the possibility that Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas will become the Republican presidential nominee in 2016:
For a quarter century now, the Republican Party has suppressed its own instincts, refusing to nominate candidates who dared to give full voice to the sentiments of its base, refusing to surrender to that temptation. The result has been a series of lackluster nominees — Bush, Dole, Bush, McCain, Romney — that time and again left the party faithful disappointed in themselves for compromising.
Ted Cruz, on the other hand, is their giant box of Godiva chocolates ...
